The related objects listed below the cups on that page were very unexpected.

I wonder if I can get a mug made from an actual human skull... 🤔
And I know you can donate your body to science but now I am wondering if I could donate my body to the arts. Make crafts outta me!

Not an actual skull, but very close looking. https://trevorfosterstudio.com/

I mean, I already have a fake one. Oddly enough, I got it from Disneyland (specifically from the Pirates ride gift shop). Actually... All my creepy skeleton decorations are from there...

I just spent too much time looking for replicas of these, and came up short.
